Easiest match between would be a cat.Since patch 1.9 Mazzaranche(sorry if wrong spelling), he has been boosted in speed.That doesn't change anything.Out of EVERY hunter in EVERY server...there is a 65% chance of most having a cat of some sort.I know a lot of lvl 56+ hunters having thos aqua and purple cats around which is really common now-a-days.
The whole main reason Tallstiders are less useful is because they have less attacks(only Bite and Dash, Dash obtained only at lvl 30+)than others(other than Crocs which only have Bite).
But don't get me wrong, I saw a lvl 60 pet Mazz...w/e u call it(that pink flamingo).So yes, some are obsessed with them(like a lvl 60 'flamingo') and others think their...goofy.

I've suggested to Blizzard that they give the Plainstrider an ability called "Razor Talon" - Which causes the plainstride to use its legs to shred its victim causing it to bleed 350 damage over 20seconds. What do you Plainstrider lovers think?
think it should toally out that in!!!
Great idea i hope they do it soon

hes a great pet faster then and other pet i have hes help full and i love him love him
It makes me laugh to see the 12 years olds with their "Striders suck!" comments here. I have an Ornery Plainstrider and he's a great pet (and I've tamed on three Hunter just about everything you can tame). High health - second only to a Bear, DPS as high as a Wolf or Carrion Bird and a 1.3 attack speed which is as fast as most Cats. He can take way more of a beating from adds than any Cat and do more damage than a Bear (and with faster hits). Yeah, he doesn't have a special skill yet, but Bite, Growl and Dash are plenty. He always has enough focus to get off another growl without a special skill or Claw hogging it all. He make look a little goofy, but looks aren't everything. Oh, and as far as diet goes, cheese, fruit and fungus drops a lot more than you think off humanoid mobs.

personally i think that all pets in general are based on a preference.. i mean you cant seriously call someone a nub if they think that their pet looks unique and likes to show it off.. most hunters get some cat and they just blend in but its always fun to see some 60 crabs, crocalisks, and striders
it all depends on what you like if you want to stand out a bit more get clutch mother or even mazzranache ( pink flamingo ) if you would like a fast attacking pet that stands out a lil less then get the ornery plainstrider.. either way all plainstriders have the same dps.. btw congrats on choosing a tallstrider and i hope you take him to 60 =D good luck!
I've had my tallstrider since level... 9? I'm pretty sure he was that level when I tamed him. Granted, I've still only levelled 10 times with him, as we're both 20 now, but I've rarely died while him and I are taking on mobs.
He's a level 6 loyalty who currently has 1021 armor, Almost twice as much as I do. He also has 10 less HPs, and MOST of his stats are much better than mine. Just some food for thought.
I don't know what you're talking about, I tamed Mazzernache and at the moment (level 15) he's got more HP than I do thanks to endurance training and stamina boosting skills. Plus his DPS isn't that bad either.
They should be able to peck their opponents eyes out!
I.E. Ripoff Rogue's "Gouge".
she's easy to find, she's in Darkshore at the very south end near ashenvale on the west side of the road.
I have tamed both these two rare plainstriders. These pets are equally skilled but Mazz has a slightly slower chase speed. I love having these two, Mazz is defintely more flashy but the Clutch Mother gets my pick. Beware though taming the Clutch Mother is difficult b/c of her knock down, be patient.
Plainstriders are hardcore pets, and when they learn dash they are swift killers and equally comparable to the million of "kitty cats" other hunters use.
a few weeks ago (didn't bother posting), someone argued with me about me haveing the cluthmother, I am not sure if telling the name is allowed, so I won't tell. The Conversation went something like this
**** whispers: Copier
me: ???
**** whispers: you're pet
me: i like my pet
**** whispers: you took the idea off of ****
me: I never even heard of him/her. The first place I saw it was petopia
**** whispers: right
**** whispers: if one lv 60 hunter tames something uniqie, every hunter wants it then
me: do you tell that to everyone you see with a cat?
I forgot the rest, the conversation was SOMETHING like that, not 100% exact, but it ended like
Player **** is ignoring you
I am in the server Burning Blade
hahahaha...owned...
I hate all those hunters with cats...Turtle/bat/Carrion/wind serpent or gorrilla are way cooler...yeah,cats can have higher speed,dps,blahblahblah but having a cat like 90% of all "faceless" hunters?!?I would always sacrifice 10 more DPS or crappy stealth for cool and unique pet
I'm glad Striders seem to be decent. I tamed one pretty early on to try one out and I liked it, but at early levels meat is a lot easier to come by as drops and my Hunter is perpetually poor as it is so I didn't want to have to keep buying food for my pet or have to go back to town if I got low. I don't think I've seen any other Hunters with one.
I tamed Mazzranache, and goddamn, he shrank!
I am playing a white Tauren hunter female, and the pink little bugger looks exccelent by my side... I renamed him "Floyd"... =) love him...
ive never seen anyone use a strider in the higher lv pvp arenas like AV, so why would you want to be the guy/girl with the flamingo, when someone is killing you with a faster cat?
i personally like wolves&tigers more, but i have no intention on replacing Sabre(my KingB.) ive had hime since lv43 and he hasnt failed me even at lv 60. he has bite,claw,growl,and dash. when he hits you , you know it. im beast speced and my pet deals out crit after crit on anything he touches.
FOR THE HORDE!
CLUTCHMOTHERS RULE AND CATS ARE BORING!!!!!!

i found quiet a few in the golden plains area... i tamed mine and love him... way better than the rake i also have....
mazzranache is a beast. He's outtanked bears and turtles, this little flamingo is worth getting for his flashy looks and insane hp

They're supposedly in the gamecode & updated for level 70 play, but not actually implemented for use. Imba, most definitely.
I made a second hunter just so I could have these guys, the Mazzranache and the Clutchmother. ^^ If you look on WoWModelViewer, there's a third colorful skin, a purple and green one, which I'll certainly have to tame as well if it gets put in the game. xD
Probably won't do much with that character, but it's kind of cool just having the chickens. I've seen a couple 60s with the flamingo around, but no one with the mutha'. I named my Clutchmother "BadMother" 'cause she was so annoying to tame... and her HP is 666, lol.
But yeah, I hope they add some more species abilities soon. Some kind of Kick ability would work well for striders/raptors, I think. More love for underused pets, plz k thx!
I don't know where to learn bite for this guy. I don't think the trainer in Silvermoon teaches it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I learned claw for my cat before I got my strider, so maybe that's interfering?
u gotta tame something with bite to get bite for ur pet. the only things the trainers train are like great stamina and resistances and stuff. just get something that comes with bite and use it over and over till u learn it urself. but don't get these, there's a reason they only go up to lv 20 haha. plus they contort to a size almost unicellular when u tame them, i got one a while back and it shrank so much i changed the name "tallstrider" to "shortstrider". don't bother with these. get an owl. lol.
Boars beat all other pets...sure, less dps, but more Health/Armor to compensate. Also they recieve charge (1 second stun aka a spell interupt if played right) as well as Gore, which hits for a pretty crazy amount of damage if you have focus regeneration talents (I.E. go for the throat).
There area now tameable level 70 tallstriders on a floating island south of terrokar forest with cower rank 7. I retrained mine with Avoidance, Cobra Reflexes, Dash Rank 3, Bite Rank 9, 5pts in all resist's, and split the remaining points between armor and stamina. I use this pet in PvP for its speed, persistant interruption of spells (cobra reflexes) and just don't want to be part of the other 80+ % of hunters using cats. I also like that they are purple as any level 70 item should be :-)
Oh, and if you want to argue about which pet is better or list long boring summations comparing abilities of pets go right ahead. Iv'e tried em all and will continue to enjoy hunting down the alliance with my strider.
Happy Hunting!
what is the best pet for ali lvl 10
(love it if it dose good dmg)
At level 10 I got a crab with the +13% armor and used my points in the Beastmaster skill tree using it as my personal tank because I mostly soloed my way till about level 55 before I went full Marksmen. Now that my Hunter is level 70, I kind of regret not keeping the crab to my level in the stable as to my knowledge there are not high level crabs in the outlands and the armor bonus was pretty cool.
Ravenblack
Hunter
Ner'Zhul
Horde
i always thought Striders were supposed to be ridden, i think the blood elves should've had Stiders as mounts XD
I've got a purple Tallstrider and I've had it for about a month or so, Level 70, first person on server to have one. Found off the edge of Terrokar.
Some people critisize me for using such a pet, especially other Hunters... and if they are BM I ask them to come and have a pet duel (I'm BM aswell) and I beat them into the ground most of the time... funny.
Hey, I made an alt, and I'm not sure if I should go with a green turtle or the clutchmother. I like the turtle's looks, shell shield is nice, and I fish a lot in the game, so I can feed him for free. Clutchmother also looks nice, and has dash, which would be good for PvP and other things.
I love my tallstrider, her name is Trixy and she has hung in some serious dungeon action. Just got a Tiger to get dash, which I will teach Trixy soon. The good thing about these birds are their health but training dash and bite will complete a well rounded pet. Some people don't like them, but I dont necessarily like being one of the many (people/sheep), I like having something different. lol
hey do tallstriders grow big as they get stronger
Yep They do! You could Check out mah 70 strider here =)
They grow kinda big in the end =P

I love striders! I have 3 of them in my stables!
The pink one(Named Bokor) the purple one(named Houngan) and my main green one (named Mystere)! I've had Myst since... lv 28 when i first saw her on petopia, I was like OMFG! I gotta have that!... As lv 70 everyone think I'm having a noob pet...Just because I dont have a Outland pet or a cat, I mean whats the fun having a pet that everyone has? just straight booooooring!
And my strider isnt a noob neither am I, I just love them! I respect people who have diferent pets! It means then can atleast have sum fun out of the game, like me! I play for fun, not for being a L33t player with Uber DPS like the most cat/ravager hunters are... and if they think Im a noob.. it's their problem..
Stick to your Speccial pet and dont care abount others =) all pets are good!
they tatally need new skins. itd be cool if there was A one that looks like a skelaton or one with a gold skin
I leveled my pink one to 70, she is so awesome.
i hate that it goes straight from lvl 20 to 70 i wanted to tame one, but im lvl 60 and i dont want to raise one forty lvls jus to get one so i think blizzard should add some that are like lvl 50 or 60
TigerBlade
Azshara
level 60
if they added some lv 50 or 60s then lv 40s like me would say what u r saying now then lv 30s
